The `yweather` platform uses [Yahoo Weather](https://www.yahoo.com/news/weather/) as an source for current meteorological data. The `forecast` will show you the condition for 5 days, 0 is the current day. You can use only `weather`, `temp_min`, and `temp_max` with forecast. It's important to note that a yweather sensor will only show ONE days forecast at a time so to show multiple days forecasts, you will need to use the 'name:' option and give each sensor a unique name.
<p class='note warning'>
Use of the Yahoo Weather API should not exceed reasonable request volume. Access is limited to 2,000 signed calls per day.
